STAAR Testing
STAAR Testing from Ms. Salmon, our Testing Coordinator
Lakeside third, fourth, and fifth graders have one more STAAR assessments.
Thursday, April 25th Math
Makeups will be scheduled on days after STAAR testing days
Attendance on these testing days is very important. Please avoid scheduling appointments on these days and plan to arrive on time. A required makeup test will be administered if a learner cannot attend on a STAAR testing day.
Please set your Longhorn up to do their best on STAAR by ensuring a good night's rest the night before and eating breakfast. Learners need to arrive at school on time with their fully charged iPad, a snack, and a water bottle.
On STAAR testing & makeup days our campus will be closed to visitors.
